House in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen

House in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen

Located in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, this private home by colour consultant Cathrine de Lichtenberg explores how carefully composed paint colours can shape the atmosphere of an interior. Rather than relying on contrast, the project uses subtle tonal transitions to create continuity between rooms and establish a calm architectural rhythm throughout the house.

Paint is applied across walls, ceilings and woodwork, allowing colour to become part of the architecture rather than a decorative layer. Each room is defined by its own palette while remaining connected to the overall composition, creating a home that feels balanced, cohesive and deeply considered.

The project combines colours from several Blēo designer collections, demonstrating how individual palettes can work together within one architectural setting. Featured colours include NO DE 06 Shadow Blue by Note (Design Studio), BA OS 17 Moss by Barber Osgerby, YV KO 23 Water by Yvonne Koné, NO AR 17 Shifting Sands by Norm Architects, GRIEST 03 Swirl and GRIEST 07 Lia by Griegst, DA CH 08 Berlin and DA CH 09 Berlin by David Chipperfield, together with BA 11 Jeorge Silver.

The result is an interior where colour quietly connects architecture, light and material, allowing each space to develop its own character while remaining part of a unified whole.
